“Daniel gets squeals of delight normally reserved for family members from Nestle, my 8 year old red labradoodle, the minute she sees him! Daily photos let me know all is well with everyone while I'm gone so I can be present at work and with family.”
“Blaze was amazing with Maverick. She came over for a meet and greet prior to our vacation and Maverick took to her very quickly. While we were on vacation she would send pictures and videos of Maverick with updates. She also kept the house tidy as well. Will definitely being using Blayze's services in the future.”
“Hailey stayed at my house for a week and took excellent care of my cat and my dog. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. My cat is pretty laid back, but my dog can demand a lot of attention and extra loving. Hailey helped my dog through an anxiety ridden night during bad thunder storms with her quick thinking and attention to my dog's needs. She was also very respectful of the house and left everything clean and even offered to water my plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the pets - who we missed so much! My pets were happy and healthy when we returned. Thank you so much Hailey!”
“Fantastic job! Fur babies loved her. She gave my cat who has asthma his pills and inhaler twice a day. Arrived early and great with communication/photos. I have 1 dog and two cats and she stayed over for two days, I have zero complaints and will book again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life from little Maltese to larger breeds like German Shepards and Labs. I know have 3 dogs and cat myself. All well trained and mannered especially out on walks and in public. I work full-time but have plenty of availability in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my schedule in advance to ensure reliable consistent care for your pets. I treat every pet as if it were my own, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them. I’m patient and committed to creating a safe calm environment for your pet. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
“This was my first time using Rover and having someone I didn’t know dog/house sit. Alissia was super sweet! She came over before our trip so we could have her meet our dog and show her around the house. She was very communicative throughout her stay! I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her! 🐶❤️”
“Jess was INCREDIBLE with our pack. I can say this is the first time we have ever travelled and not worried about ours dogs back home. Jess provided consistent updates and went above and beyond with our pups. They all adored her (even our judgey girl) and she took excellent care of them all!”
About: I have had various dogs since I was a child including dachshunds, jack russels, and chihuahuas. I’ve always helped around the house and with the animals. (We’ve even had goats, chickens, goats, and a pig! So I know how to handle different dynamics.) I have trained and taken care of my own dachshund puppy over the past two years. I’ve taught him tricks, crate trained him, and navigated how to walk on a leash properly. As an early grad I am working to build my schedule with work. I make time for what’s important to me and that includes YOUR FURRY BABIES! I do have one part time job but I am very flexible with my availability. If you prefer me to be present at the house 24/7 I will! If you are okay with me working a shift or two while petsitting I can do that as well. All I need is communication! I will act and provide my services based on you and your pets needs. I am comfortable to give medicine, take your pets out for potty breaks any time they need, to crate them or share a bed for my stay.
About: I love playing, loving, and just spending time with animals. For as long as I’ve remembered there’s always been pets in my home. I will treat your babies as if they’re my own. Whatever you need done, I’ll be there and I’ll do it with care and grace. Currently I only work about 20 hours a week and have a lot of time to spare. I can drop in to check on your animals at anytime, and I can take them on long walks (or shorter if necessary), during the day or evening 3/4 times a week. Even on my work days, I will be available all morning for whichever services you need. I live in a development with a lot of space to walk dogs, I also have my own car for transportation whenever necessary. I’m very familiar with giving any kind of medication to animals, and/or feeding and walks on time.
“Lauren is amazing! She watched our 16 week old golden retriever puppy! She was able to stay on top of his high energy, feed him, and make sure he was goi g potty! She communicated with us really well! Highly recommend her☺️”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats ever since I was young. I love taking care of them. I have so much love in my heart for animals I try to put pets as my first priority. They are like humans. They need as much attention as we people do. They need love and time with you Any pets I have taken care of have always been loved and cherished. No pet left behind. When I had my dogs they would always get so much attention from me
“Loryn stayed in my home for 2 nights watching my babies for me. She was absolutely perfect! She left my house impeccable, sent frequent updates, and was very respectful. Maya and Bleu can’t wait to see her again in the future!”
“Akaycia did a great job with Lily, Penny and Sophie. Everyone was well taken care of and happy. They almost seemed upset that she was leaving. Lily and Penny can be quite a handful with them both being puppies still. They can be full of energy but she handled them great. Also we had no expectations of her cleaning the house up from two shedding Collies but she tried her best to do it even though we never showed her where the vacuum was. Will definitely try to hire her again if we go anywhere.”
About: Hi I'm Dani! I have been passionate about animals my whole life and even went vegetarian when I was 12. I love all kinds of animals even the creepy and scaly kind. I have had experience with bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, goats, and chickens. In childhood I had some brief experience with horses as well. I currently have two inside cats, one barn cat, two chickens, and six goats! Pet care is part of my daily life and routine as my cat is always by my side when I am home. Usually I will help take our dogs out when needed or feed the goats etc. I will love and treat your animals with the upmost respect. It's important to me to also not cross any boundaries that would make your animals uncomfortable.
About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have loved animals my whole life. I currently have a 3-year-old pitbull, 2-year-old rat, and a 7-year-old horse, and I’ve been riding horses for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to feed, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and truly enjoy making animals feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, playtime, and care they deserve! I’m usually most available Fridays through Mondays, with flexible evening availability during the week as well. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I care deeply about making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, stress-free environment for both you and your pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swartzville
Serena is AMAZING!!! She watched our 2 dogs while we went on a week long vacation. We have a 15 and 5 year old dog and are very protective over them, especially the 15 year old. It’s been hard to find the right person to watch after our babies and thus hard to go away and trust that they will be taken care of the way we do when we are home. Serena exceeded our expectations!! She is highly reliable and communicative and made being away as pain free as possible. She updated me multiple times a day and sent daily pictures. She was with them the whole time and let me know when she was leaving (which was only once) and when she got back. She went above and beyond! She also took care of our reptiles water for the week. Before we even got home, she had taken out garbages and cleaned as if she was never even here which was so thoughtful and we didn’t even have to ask. Our girls love her and can’t wait for their next visit. I cannot recommend Serena enough!
Will definitely be booking with them again! Always kept the line of communication open for any questions or clarifications, always sent updates about our babies, and sent us pictures every day. Took great care of our home- you wouldn't even know someone had stayed over. Handled our one dog's tricky eating and medication schedule with ease, and also managed to befriend our stranger-averse kitty. Coming from an anxious pet-mom, you can truly feel relaxed when your fur-babies are in their care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Swartzville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Swartzville on Rover is $39.41 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,216 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Swartzville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Swartzville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Swartzville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Swartzville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
